Just got back home! @sdreef I appreciate your kind words and @N1tew0lf1212 sorry for not posting yesterday lol. I for what eve reason didn’t get notified of the posts on here until now. Haven’t had much time to look either it’s been a busy last few days of the trip. It’s a bittersweet feeling coming back. Tomorrow I will start addressing things back in my order.

Beautiful tank! I honestly find the dirties are just another phase where a tank looks natural (Possibly the most natural).
There looks to be so many caves yet so much open swimming space. How many wrasses do you plan on having total?

At the moment the number is tallied up to twelve. Can’t say which ones anymore because every time I make a list I see something or someone recommends me one and I love them all. I can say that the permanent list makers are C. johnsoni C. naokoae and H. iridis

Hopefully you find a johnsoni that looks better than the two I saw… Those two were a huge let down for me.

I still think you’re missing an Angel ;)

Here’s a question for you guys…
If you could hybridise any angel (No matter what genus it’s from) what would it be?
A Swallowtail Lamarck's with some Blue line thrown in for good measure?

I bet that would make a beautiful hybrid!

Here’s the ones I would do;
Holacanthus cilliaris and Holocanthus limbaughi, just imagine that deep blue on the queen’s body!
Genicanthus lamarcki and Pygoplites diacanthus flavescens because… Regal Angel with streamers
Pomacanthus xanthometopon (or imperator) and Pygoplites diacanthus just imagine a Regal that starts off in the gorgeous blue juvenile phase that Pomacanthus species do.

P.S. I do love the wrasses but… Angels are just so calm and attractive for a show piece fish!
